The Donora Smog Museum was established in 2008 to commemorate the tragic smog disaster that occurred in the city on October 26, 1948. It was caused allegedly due to the air pollution of the steel plants leading to the loss of 20 lives and leaving thousands sick. The museum opened on the 60th anniversary of the incident and showcases interesting aerial photographs, artifacts and memorabilia.
